after hogging out the manifold for the 55mm, you will be hard pressed to find enough metal to remove to fit a 65mm tb, if that is what the measurement is.

What have you measured as the narrowest part of the tb? I ran into the egr stud just going to 55, you will surely have to remove the stud for your tb.

I am very impressed, I wish I had access to all that equiptment too. Theres alot of stuff I'm doing that I have to pay somone elst to do and I can't afford to purchase equiptment like that right now. I still need to figure out how to post pics here cause I have a few photos of my megasquirt project and my lightened flywheel project if any ones interested. Just can't figure out how to upload them.........Help??????

Weld a cover plate over the egr hole? you didn't take a close look at the one thats on the car now did you? Matt and I used a part of a Montana license plate and JB weld to fix that.

Should we really scrap the 5S for the 3SGTE in the fall? My brain is having 2nd thoughts.

Anyway, here is what I am talking about. In the folloing picture, you can see the sharpie line drawn on the intake. That is the material that needed to be removed to take advantage of the bigger TB. A total of 5mm, and that took a while to do. If you were to go to 60mm, wow, that would be close to the sides. You can take out the egr stud, but then you will have to weld a cover plate over the egr hole.

I did bid on a few MKIII supra TB's. Still waiting to get one cheap. I am willing to build our other stock manifold to accept the 60mm, and I will port and polish it too.

But this does leave me with 2 stock 5S TB's.... Hrmmm, what to do... I do have a spare 4afe intake manifold lying around...



EDIT: Da, forgot to add picture

You and matt had the studs out? I never looked that close.

The 5S will have to live on in your gt.

Anyway, the tb is now mounted to the intake. She is soaking in a chemical bath for the night to get the rest of the oil and carbon out. I also made a block-off plate to get rid of the entire TB heat part. Picts tomorrow.

I don't think we took the studs out, I didn't see any in there? We just covered the hole.

Hummm, I was thinking of trading in the GT in the spring for a *cough* truck. We will see. I though you had plans of S/C the GT? Not with PAECO parts still in there I hope. My brain is hurting.

John, you know how you were trying to get a pop can in your old TB? Well, you can toss one in here and there's even room for it to wiggle!

So now I don't know about this 65mm business...seems too large to me.

I may be wrong here, but dat ainaguna fit no 5S manifold.

there are 4 wires as you said.

EDIT: you need the wires marked ****.

all you need to do is get the conector with sone pig tails and splice TPS wires to 5S-FE TPS connector wires. I don't have my manual here in my room (keep it in the car), but that is all you should have to do.

OK, I have the colors of the wires based on a schematic. The problem I see is that the variable resistor is in the 225e circuit all of the time, when the 5S sees an open between idle and wot. So, just leave the wiper on the resistor open?
